Home to New Zealand’s only Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course, Kinloch Manor and Villas offers a compelling combination of exceptional golf, accommodation, location and cuisine. Read on for more details and our Stay Play Special Offer (including a bonus round at Wairakei).
Where is Kinloch Manors & Villas
For those planning a New Zealand holiday, just under a 20 minute drive from Taupo, Kinloch Manor & Villas is nestled into the hills overlooking the golf course, and beyond that Lake Taupo. The design and location of this luxury lodge is visually striking and on arrival you are left in no doubt that you have arrived somewhere special.
Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course
One of New Zealand’s most challenging golf courses designed by one of the game’s greatest ever players. Just as the architecture of the Manor and Villas leaves an immediate impression, golfers of all handicaps will admire, respect and remember the golf course architecture. A design that pays homage to the links courses of the British Isles, it is a pleasure to play on an exceptionally well maintained course in such a picturesque setting.
Unapologetically Elegant
In keeping with its uber-luxury reputation, as you walk through the reception, bar and restaurant the decor will leave an impression of elegance rather than exaggerated opulence. With a combination of modern luxury and medieval flair the subtle choice and positioning of furniture, art, warm rugs and glimpses of the spectacular scenery and golf course come together to reinforce that you’ve made the right choice for your winter escape or special occasion.
Accommodation Options
Kinloch offers a range of accommodation options to suit single travellers, couples, families and even groups heading away for a special occasion.
Manor Suite
Perfect for couples and single travellers looking to explore, the one-bedroom Manor Suite features beautiful oak floors covered by a handmade New Zealand rug, a large luxurious bathroom with a freestanding bathtub, and a spacious closet.

Three Bedroom Manor Residence
This well-appointed expansive Three Bedroom Deluxe Manor Residence presents calm sophistication featuring dramatic framed vistas of the championship golf course and Lake Taupo.
